Squier

Squier is part of Fender. In 1965 they were bought by Fender, specifically to sell their popular Stratocasters and Telecasters for a lower price. This means they are the only brand that can copy Fender guitars completely, because they are part of the patent. The difference between Fender and Squier guitars is mostly in where they are produced. Fender guitars are either made in Mexico or the United States, whereas Squier guitars are made in Asia, usually Indonesia or China. They also tend to use cheaper materials, depending on the series. This means Squier guitars can be cheaper than Fender guitars. However, Squier remains one of the best producers when it comes to cheap guitars, because they produce relatively high-quality guitars for the price.

The Sonic Series

Squier announced the arrival of the Sonic series at NAMM 2023. This series is considered the successor to their Bullet series. Just like the Bullet guitars, the Sonic guitars are solid-body beginner electric guitars. These guitars are a reliable option within the lowest price category. The Sonic series is even more extensive than the Bullet series, as they also produce lesser-known guitars, such as the Esquire and the Mustang. The guitars are also made in more unique colours.

The Sonic Stratocaster

The Sonic Stratocaster is of course based on the legendary Stratocaster. This Sonic Stratocaster is a standard version, which means it’s got three single-coil pickups. The body of the guitar is made of poplar, which is a lightweight tonewood which produces a balanced sound. Both the neck and the fretboard are made of maple, which is a great and sustainable combination.

The Sonic series is even more extensive than the Bullet series, as they also produce lesser known guitars, such as the Esquire and the Mustang. The guitars are also made in more unique colours.

The Esquire

The Esquire looks very similar to the Telecaster. This is because it is the predecessor of the Telecaster. Leo Fender produced the Esquire in 1950 and it was one of the first solid body electric guitars in the world. The Esquire was, however, overshadowed by the Telecaster which was released shortly thereafter. The biggest difference between the two is that the Telecaster has two pickups, two single coils, whereas the Esquire has one pickup, also a single coil. Ever since the Esquire has been memorialised as a vital piece of guitar history, and the single pickup is now viewed as handy and reliable. Consequently, Fender decided to bring this piece of history back through Squier’s Sonic series, where they swapped out the single coil pickup for a humbucker for a fuller and warmer sound.

Materials

The body of the guitar is made of poplar. This is a light tonewood which produces a balanced sound. The neck is made of maple and the fretboard of Indian laurel. This is a great and sustainable combination which produces a comfortable experience.

The Classic Vibe Series

The Classic Vibe Series has an amazing balance between price and quality, which means they are the best series within the Squier brand. The guitars are all sold for a starter price while having a Fender-like quality. Consequently, these guitars are ideal for both beginning and advanced guitarists. The guitars are all based on the original Fender models from the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s. The shapes and colours of the guitars are 100% copied from the originals, which means they really do look vintage.

The Classic Vibe Competition Lake Placed Blue

The Classic Vibe Competition Mustang is part of the Classic Vibe series, but also slightly falls outside the boat, because this Mustang is a limited edition.

The guitar has two single coil pickups, which makes the guitar perfect for playing with a clean or with a distorted sound, so they are very versatile. The neck has a C-profile, which makes it comfortable and easy to play. The body is made of poplar and the fretboard is made of laurel. Poplar is very lightweight so it is an ideal tonewood for the guitarists that likes to play while standing. The Classic Vibe Competition is thus a unique limited edition guitar for a low price!

The Sonic Stratocaster HT H

The Sonic Stratocaster HT H looks like a Stratocaster version of the Esquire. The Esquire was Fender’s first guitar and only had one pickup near the bridge. This Stratocaster also only has one pickup, which is nowadays a popular choice as it’s simple and reliable. The Sonic Stratocaster HT H has a humbucker pickup, this is a double coil pickup which produces a warm and full sound. The body of the guitar is made of poplar, which is a lightweight tonewood which produces a balanced sound. Both the neck and the fretboard are made of maple, which is a great and sustainable combination.
